Hi everyone,
This is a real long shot but I had a strange "pinging" noise in the Nippy between about 40 and 45 MPH which I think roughly equates to your troublesome rev range. Nothing was obviously amiss and everything ran fine otherwise both slower and faster.
Purely by chance one day, I caught the passenger door with my knee while in my garage (the car wasn't running) and heard the same noise. It turned out the passenger door lock mounting screws were slightly loose and allowed the catch to move against the striker plate making the noise. 30 seconds later, the screws were tightened up and the noise magically stopped!
Don't know if that helps or not?
Best wishes,
Nick
